The fight will take place this Saturday in Mexico City

Every time Floyd Mayweather Jr. is mentioned, boxing fans pay attention, and even more so when the legendary fighter steps into the ring.

Mayweather Jr., multiple world champion and for many, one of the best in the history of the sport of boxing, will fight once again in an exhibition against John Gotti III, in what will be the second bout between the two fighters.

The fight will be held on August 24 at the Arena Ciudad de Mexico.

Everyone knows the story of Mayweather, previously considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and who retired with an undefeated record of 50-0.

Throughout his career he accumulated a total of eight world titles in different categories and through the different bodies that govern the boxing world.

He is the grandson of one of the mob bosses in New York in the 1980s, John Gotti, but the grandson is far from that criminal side in his family.

He made his MMA debut in 2017, and switched to the world of boxing in 2020, though he has only fought twice as a pro in a ring, and both times he came out with his fist raised.

This is the second time the two will meet in the ring. In 2023 they were set to fight eight rounds of two minutes each, in a fight in which Money Mayweather dominated his opponent, when referee Kenny Bayless surprisingly stopped the fight in the sixth round.

The referee warned both fighters to stop the abusive language, which both fighters ignored, leading Bayless to stop the fight, while chaos ensued over the decision.
